Lawyer and political commentator Martin Kpebu has argued that even though an investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) into the Airbus Scandal has exonerated former President John Mahama of any wrongdoing related to corruption and corruption-related matters, the fact that John Mahama's brother, Samuel Adam Forster, received money as an intermediary for Airbus means that John Mahama could have financially benefited from the sale of Airbus aircraft to the Government of Ghana. He asserted that Samuel Adam Forster can contribute to John Mahama's campaign without evidence of John Mahama having benefited directly from the cash paid to him by the Airbus company. He contended that notwithstanding the OSP's exoneration, closure has not been brought to the matter, and in the future, the case could be investigated again. Kpebu made the comments on TV3's current affairs show The Keypoints on Saturday, August 10, 2024. "Now that Forster got that money, do you know how much he will contribute to JM's campaign?" He continued: "John Mahama is lucky because of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia's corruption; he is coming, but I don't want to lend support to the report that nothing happened in the Airbus issue. It doesn't bring finality; it is just a truce.
